I have uploaded a WarpIn installer, for Firefox 38.8.0, to Netlabs, 
and HOBBES. I no longer make any attempt to determine if the user has 
the proper support installed. The Arca Noae Package Manager, or the 
YUM command line, handles that properly, and I strongly suggest that 
users get, and use, ANPM to make your life simpler. You can try to do 
it yourself, but it seems that even the developers don't really know 
what you might need so it could be an adventure in frustration.

FWIW, it seems that FF 38.8.0 is working well, but it is less than 24 
hours since I installed it.
